The Smurf & Smurfette podcast is back for 2022 as we talk all things endurance sport with our special guests.
Our second podcast for the year is a returning guest, but this time it's a much different conversation! Last time we spoke to Sarah Thomas, she was a elite age grouper winning Ironman age group races. This time, she has just finished her first year as a pro triathlete. We talk with Sarah about;
- The trials and tribulations she faced in 2021 including a relationships breakdown, tough racing and a change in coach
- The tough moments and the decision to race pro in 2021
- How training and racing as a pro has been different from training and racing as an age grouper
- Her first pro Ironman event at her home Ironman course, Ironman Cairns
- Her reflections and learnings from this experience
- Lining up at Sunshine Coast 70.3 and Hervey Bay 100 against some of Australia's best long course triathletes
- Her experiences in her second pro Ironman race at Ironman Western Australia
- The emotions of crossing the IMWA finish line second overall and securing her first ever pro podium
- A switch of coach and tri squad for 2022
- What lies ahead for Sarah in 2022
